Video streaming sites have a cost to create.
The price is ads or paying for a paid service like YouTube premium.
So you're still stealing, you just convince yourself it's ok, and that's fine.

Are you stealing?
The aircon have a cost. Cold fresh air cost electricity that costs money.
The price is to buy stuff from the shopping centre, that gives money to the stores that pay a rent price for the local that pays for the aircon bill.
This is precisely why we cannot compare copying to stealing.
My only point there was that shoplifting and ad blocking are very different things. Stores don't make their products freely available to anyone willing to walk past enough ads along the way.
